Address: 8 Place du Dr Lazare Goujon | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Performance in French without subtitles

“How can theatre, with its abridgements and clichés, be used to make something complex understandable?” – Adeline Rosenstein

Simultaneously a historical and aesthetic piece of research, Laboratoire Poison opens onto a vast site on which various resistance movements between 1943 and 1976 and their repression are depicted.

Is theatre capable of revealing certain shifts and weak points in various resistance movements, without actually damaging the sense of these struggles?

Adeline Rosenstein explores all the options of theatrical arts and tackles these questions head on to examine our need for glorious stories with honesty, humour and intelligence.

Wo-Man — Amala Dianor

Maison de la Danse

Maison de la Danse

Address: 8 Av. Jean Mermoz, 69008 Lyon | Event Map | Venue accessibility

Wo-Man is the story of a beautiful encounter between dancer Nangaline Gomis and choreographer Amala Dianor, whom she asked to perform an extract from her solo Man Rec as part of her studies at the CNSMD in Lyon. The choreographer then reflected on the transmission of this solo created in 2014 and which has continued to tour on international stages ever since. Conceived as a dialogue between its multiple origins – from urban dances to contemporary dance – questioning the identity of the individual and their relationship to others, Man Rec is the founding piece of a hybrid and embodied writing which imposes its singularity in the landscape of contemporary dance.

Malacca — Christophe Gellon

Théâtre Astrée, Villeurbanne

Théâtre Astrée, Villeurbanne

Address: 6 Av. Gaston Berger, 69100 Villeurbanne | Event Map | Venue accessibility

A singular and ephemeral "one shot" creation at the initiative of Christophe Gellon, Malacca once again brings together choreographers and dancers for a unique performance. This year, Parisian artists Slate Keller Hemedi and the Brainstorm company are teaming up with the Voltaïk company for a seventh edition of urban, visual and colorful choreography.

Slate comes from the electro culture, born in clubbing evenings in the Paris region in the 2000s; a dance that combines footwork and arm play, to the rhythm of electro-house music.

Brainstorm is a company with a very visual universe, looking for intelligence and quality of movement. Originally from hip-hop and eager to break the codes, its choreographers put dance at the service of pure and simple inspiration.

Together, they transmit their repertoires to dancers from various backgrounds, mix their worlds and bring to the stage a powerful and lively Malacca.

Rêverie Carcasse – Léa Carton de Grammont

Théâtre des Clochards Célestes

Théâtre des Clochards Célestes

Address: 51 Rue des Tables Claudiennes, 69001 Lyon | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

"It goes up, it comes down. It goes up, it comes down. It takes its time. It goes up, it comes down. It breathes. It goes up, it comes down - without knowing that it exists, just breathing. It lasts like this. It breathes. As long as it exists, it breathes."

This is the story of a woman who tries to live in her body. And her body escapes her. Her body agitates her: it digests, it beats, it breathes. It spends its time becoming someone else: suddenly it is big, or pubescent, or old.

At the beginning of life, we do not distinguish between ourselves and the world. You think you are everything. Then you learn. You are IN something.

Rêverie Carcasse unfolds the relationship between a body and the person who inhabits it. In turn costume, puppet or animated landscape, the body is embodied in the material, to make existential questions sensitive: What is it to be a body? What else are we? And how can we recognise ourselves in it?

La Mère Coupable – Adaptation of Beaumarchais by Laurent Hatat et Thomas Piasecki

Théâtre La Renaissance

Théâtre La Renaissance

Address: 7 Rue Orsel, 69600 Oullins | Event Map | Venue accessibility

Performance in French without subtitles.

La Mère Coupable (EN: The Guilty Mother) or L'Autre Tartuffe (EN: The Other Tartuffe) is a drama in five acts completed in 1792. It is the third and final part of Figaro's trilogy, after The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro.

Twenty years after Figaro's famous wedding, in full revolutionary effervescence, the Almaviva family returns from Mexico and stops in Paris. We find the Count and Rosine, Figaro and Suzanne, Léon, illegitimate child of the Countess, Florestine, ward of the Count, as well as the Irishman Bégearss who covets the fortune of the Count and the hand of Florestine...

In this little-known episode, Beaumarchais talks about family secrets, love and death, underprivileged children, male domination, fanatic religiosity, dreamed independence and constructed and nurtured female guilt. Another way of telling the story of political manipulation and compromise.

A saga between drama and comedy, in which we will see that it is always fun to talk about the troubles of the bourgeoisie while playing on the liveliness and cheerfulness of a text that resonates surprisingly today.

C’était un Samedi (It Was a Saturday) — Irène Bonnaud

Radiant-Bellevue

Radiant-Bellevue

Address: 1 Rue Jean Moulin, 69300 Caluire-et-Cuire | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Performance in Greek with French subtitles.

“Because it is a modest art form, because it knows how to open up a space for gathering and listening to stories, theatre has a role to play in telling the accounts of witnesses. The truth is always passed on by word of mouth.” – Irène Bonnaud

“In our little town, there were about 4,000 Jewish people, probably more. They were all gathered around their synagogue.” A sole woman, surrounded by figurines made from terracotta that are about the height of children. She sings and tells the story of the Romaniote Jewish community from Ioannina, in Epirus.

Inspired by a novel by Dimitris Hadzis, she recounts the lives of Sabethai Kabilis and Joseph Eliyia, who are friends despite their difference in age and class. She also tells of the deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau on Saturday 25 March 1944, based on real-life accounts. She talks about the Sonderkommando revolt at Birkenau, which is, in part, a Greek story. She resurrects the ghosts with tenderness and tenacity. The theatre acts as a guard for painful recollections.

Placed under the sign of friendship, this program invites us to discover the dancer and choreographer Amala Dianor who was the magnificent performer of Emanuel Gat. Of Franco-Senegalese origin, from hip hop culture, he develops a virtuoso and transgressive dance that crosses different styles: African dance, hip hop, contemporary and neo-classical.

Placed under the sign of friendship, this program invites us to discover the dancer and choreographer Amala Dianor who was the magnificent performer of Emanuel Gat. Of Franco-Senegalese origin, from hip hop culture, he develops a virtuoso and transgressive dance that crosses different styles: African dance, hip hop, contemporary and neo-classical. Extension is a duo created with Bboy Junior - world breakdance star - designed as a nod to their first stage joust during the 20th anniversary of the Suresnes Cité Danse Festival in 2012.

When the law, particularly the law of contracts, becomes the subject of art. In this performance, the ten co-authors from Conakry to Grenoble assert their contractual ties against the migration policies that try to separate them. Whether they have valid papers to stay in France, they are seeking asylum, or they are prohibited from staying here, they work together and invoke a principle of co-dependence. Enriched by meetings with legal system professionals, documentaries, archives and oral histories, this activism, which is both artistic and legal, highlights the need for acts of resistance.

“How can theatre, with its abridgements and clichés, be used to make something complex understandable?” – Adeline Rosenstein

Simultaneously a historical and aesthetic piece of research, Laboratoire Poison opens onto a vast site on which various resistance movements between 1943 and 1976 and their repression are depicted.

Is theatre capable of revealing certain shifts and weak points in various resistance movements, without actually damaging the sense of these struggles?

Adeline Rosenstein explores all the options of theatrical arts and tackles these questions head on to examine our need for glorious stories with honesty, humour and intelligence.

“The only place where I can speak is the stage. Not to condemn, but to question what is happening around me. Perhaps I am waiting for something to change and I am waiting for it to give me just a small place, a place in this space that is the theatre.” – Chrystèle Khodr

Three different perspectives on the period of war in Lebanon. What connects them? The theatre. Hanane Hajj Ali and Randa Asmara decided to become actors at the start of the 1980s, in the middle of a civil war in Beirut. Chrystèle Khodr belongs to the post-war generation. She creates a stage for the two actors, who retrace their theatre career and try to reconstruct the memory of this fragmented city.
Blending fiction and personal accounts, they try to draw a map of places that are now gone during the performance. What is it like to do theatre in a war-torn country? This is an opportunity to examine the relationship that these artists maintain with their profession and the need to perform in the last free place.

Wo-Man — Amala Dianor

Maison de la Danse

Maison de la Danse

Address: 8 Av. Jean Mermoz, 69008 Lyon | Event Map | Venue accessibility

Wo-Man is the story of a beautiful encounter between dancer Nangaline Gomis and choreographer Amala Dianor, whom she asked to perform an extract from her solo Man Rec as part of her studies at the CNSMD in Lyon. The choreographer then reflected on the transmission of this solo created in 2014 and which has continued to tour on international stages ever since. Conceived as a dialogue between its multiple origins – from urban dances to contemporary dance – questioning the identity of the individual and their relationship to others, Man Rec is the founding piece of a hybrid and embodied writing which imposes its singularity in the landscape of contemporary dance.

Rêverie Carcasse – Léa Carton de Grammont

Théâtre des Clochards Célestes

Address: 51 Rue des Tables Claudiennes, 69001 Lyon | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

"It goes up, it comes down. It goes up, it comes down. It takes its time. It goes up, it comes down. It breathes. It goes up, it comes down - without knowing that it exists, just breathing. It lasts like this. It breathes. As long as it exists, it breathes."

This is the story of a woman who tries to live in her body. And her body escapes her. Her body agitates her: it digests, it beats, it breathes. It spends its time becoming someone else: suddenly it is big, or pubescent, or old.

At the beginning of life, we do not distinguish between ourselves and the world. You think you are everything. Then you learn. You are IN something.

Rêverie Carcasse unfolds the relationship between a body and the person who inhabits it. In turn costume, puppet or animated landscape, the body is embodied in the material, to make existential questions sensitive: What is it to be a body? What else are we? And how can we recognise ourselves in it?

La Mère Coupable – Adaptation of Beaumarchais by Laurent Hatat et Thomas Piasecki

Théâtre La Renaissance

Théâtre La Renaissance

Address: 7 Rue Orsel, 69600 Oullins | Event Map | Venue accessibility

Performance in French without subtitles.

La Mère Coupable (EN: The Guilty Mother) or L'Autre Tartuffe (EN: The Other Tartuffe) is a drama in five acts completed in 1792. It is the third and final part of Figaro's trilogy, after The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro.

Twenty years after Figaro's famous wedding, in full revolutionary effervescence, the Almaviva family returns from Mexico and stops in Paris. We find the Count and Rosine, Figaro and Suzanne, Léon, illegitimate child of the Countess, Florestine, ward of the Count, as well as the Irishman Bégearss who covets the fortune of the Count and the hand of Florestine...

In this little-known episode, Beaumarchais talks about family secrets, love and death, underprivileged children, male domination, fanatic religiosity, dreamed independence and constructed and nurtured female guilt. Another way of telling the story of political manipulation and compromise.

A saga between drama and comedy, in which we will see that it is always fun to talk about the troubles of the bourgeoisie while playing on the liveliness and cheerfulness of a text that resonates surprisingly today.

Rêve en Carton – Dieudonné Niangouna

Théâtre de l’Elysée

Théâtre de l’Elysée

Address: 14 Rue Basse Combalot, 69007 Lyon | Event Map 

Performance in French without subtitles.

(…) Poetry is no longer about beauty, it is a shockwave, the disenchantment of an unkind heart. Across scores of occurrences, all the smoking steps sting the earth, the ocean in its internal desert; the thirst that is utopia. Remaining in this partition, scarred, half-burned, strained from the anger of those disappeared beyond the roads and the blades of sharp silences. I have escaped on the whole. And I pretend to watch a nightmare, an action that happens in five movements: Exile, Border, Wandering, Death, Transition.

Les Subs (Les Subsistances)

Address: 8 bis Quai Saint-Vincent, 69001 Lyon | Event Map | Venue accessibility

When the law, particularly the law of contracts, becomes the subject of art. In this performance, the ten co-authors from Conakry to Grenoble assert their contractual ties against the migration policies that try to separate them. Whether they have valid papers to stay in France, they are seeking asylum, or they are prohibited from staying here, they work together and invoke a principle of co-dependence. Enriched by meetings with legal system professionals, documentaries, archives and oral histories, this activism, which is both artistic and legal, highlights the need for acts of resistance.

Pôle en Scènes / Espace Albert Camus (Auditorium)

Address: 1 Rue Maryse Bastié, 69500 bron | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

For the fourth consecutive year, the Karavel festival ends with the Hip Hop Games. Halfway between battle and choreographic creation, this international competition brings together several crews around a series of challenges.

Created in 2011 by Lille-based choreographer Romuald Brizolier, the Hip Hop Games quickly spread across the planet - to the Netherlands, Belgium, England and Denmark - to become one of the most original events in the hip-hop world. The show is a real spectacle, skilfully staged by the HHG troupe.

In solo, duo or team, the crews challenge each other in creative events where the sense of improvisation, artistic risk-taking, humour and creativity are evaluated by a jury of wise professionals. A constantly renewed show that allows the public to live a unique experience!

Le Bonheur – KnAM Theatre

Théâtre des Célestins, Célestine

Address: 4 Rue Charles Dullin, 69002 Lyon | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Performed in Russian with French subtitles.

“How to reconcile people with the ephemeral, sincere and profound feeling of happiness?” – Tatiana Frolova

A regular guest at Sens Interdits since 2011, KnAM Theatre is returning to the festival for the sixth time with its latest creation, continuing its reflection on the social and political situation in Russia and the way in which it permeates people's conscience. 

After working on “frozen feelings” in 2019 with* Ma Petite Antarctique (My Little Antarctic), Tatiana Frolova now examines the possibility of happiness in this country, where the false memory of the “happy USSR” is still prevalent. What is happiness for Russian citizens today? Could it really lead to a retreat into the nationalist ideas of identity advocated by the current political situation?

The company gives an intimate insight into contemporary Russia using, as usual, a variety of experiences and accounts from actors, while never losing sight of the deep historical dimension. The performance brings to light with sharpness and irony the propaganda mechanisms of a country in which happiness is an order, but rarely a reality.

In Five Seasons: An Enemy of the People – Jeton Neziraj

Théâtre La Renaissance

Théâtre La Renaissance

Address: 7 Rue Orsel, 69600 Lyon | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

This is the true story of an architect, Rexhep Luci, who was assassinated while trying to complete the urbanisation plan in the city of Pristina after the war. It is the story of a devastated country that was left in the hands of the mafia and corrupt media. In a bid for peace and political stability, the United Nations turned a blind eye to the illegal constructions and the authorities favoured rapid development at the detriment of any social well-being.

Like the hero Ibsen, who refused any compromise in the name of truth, Rexhep Luci became “the enemy”. In this caustic piece, Jeton and Blerta Neziraj condemn the absurdity and hypocrisy of the Kosovan government and its devastating consequences for the state of the country today. However, they also open up the hope for a fifth season, that of youth, in which change will still be possible.
